It’s a terrifying thing to be on a sinking ship. Often, everything happens so fast that it’s hard to focus on what you need to do to survive. But this story isn’t just about a boat sinking. It’s way worse than that. It's about one of the worst things you can imagine happening once you hit the water.

In October of 1628, a trade ship set sail from the Netherlands with gold and gems to be traded for spices in Indonesia. Unbeknownst to the captain, the danger of the voyage was not from the storms and rough waters they’d encounter but instead something sinister brewing within the ship itself. In the end, this would result in the loss of the majority of the over 300 passengers, but even worse than...

This is the Barnes Hecker Mine. It was first opened in 1923 and would eventually reach 1000 feet into the earth, in an area littered with surface and underground lakes. But despite the great caution taken by the owners, something unforeseen would happen deep in one of the tunnels that would have catastrophic consequences. This is the story of the Barnes Hecker Mine Disaster. Ambient Songs: "The Da...

In this video, we’re going to examine three of the worst disasters in human history. Frustratingly, two of these seem to have been entirely preventable, if not for a series of mistakes made by the people involved. Then, in contrast, the third story required a once-in-a-lifetime natural event to occur for what eventually transpired. Either way, in each of them, the effects were beyond devastating....

Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting and to another collection of Horrible Fates. In this episode, we’re going to go over two more creepy cases that went unsolved for decades.

In this episode, we’re going to go over three more creepy and disturbing disappearances. One of these is a classic just out of sight and then gone forever. But the other two are especially creepy because foul play can’t be ruled out. Each of these cases also remain unsolved to this day, and as is often the case, despite extensive resources and searches, not a single trace of these people has been...

In this episode, we’re going to go over three more terrifying cave stories. One of these features another brutally tight squeeze in an impossibly tight tunnel. The next was so bad it resulted in a permanent closure of the cave. And the final story, if you can believe it, is still somehow worse than the first two. As always, viewer discretion is advised.

This is Clipperton Island. It is just a small barren ring of coral in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In the late 19th century, countries fought for ownership of it for a rare resource the island possessed. To stake their own claim, Mexico sent several families to colonize it, and supplies were regularly sent to keep them alive. Horrifyingly, at some point, these crucial supplies stopped coming,...

In this episode, we’re going to go over two more confusing and disturbing stories.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Scary Interesting. In this episode, we’re going to go over three more cases of people who completely vanished in a short period of time, and despite almost immediate and extensive searches, not a single trace of them has been found.

In 1788, the British began sending prisoners to Australia to alleviate their overcrowded prisons and as part of their strategy to start colonizing the land. Many of these men were not charged with serious offenses, and so after their sentence would be released and begin a new life. Other prisoners would only continue to misbehave, and the worst of these would be sent to the remote and brutal priso...

This is the Levant Mine. Also nicknamed the mine under the sea. It was first opened in 1820, and would eventually reach 2000 feet deep into the earth. But also a full mile underneath the Atlantic Ocean. I’m sure you can imagine what might happen if one of the tunnels were to fail. Incredibly, that isn’t even the worst of the conditions within. This is the story of the Levant Mine Disaster. Ambient...

Imagine you were standing on a treacherous sheet of ice, floating in the North Atlantic Ocean. And your ship and only salvation was impossible to see in the snow storm that surrounded you. And every minute that went by was one minute closer to the frozen night. During which, some of the men with you wouldn’t wake up in the morning. This is the horrifying story of the 1914 Sealing Disaster. Ambient...

This is Tromelin Island. It is exactly as barren as it looks. So much so that it used to be known simply as the Isle of Sand. In 1761, almost a hundred people captured from their homeland were abandoned here, and most of them were never seen or heard from again. This is their horrifying story.

In this episode, we’re going to go over two cases of people who disappeared in the remote wilderness. But strangely, each of these people was skilled and experienced enough for this not to have happened, and yet it did anyway. Sometimes, these things just happen deep in the woods.

If you followed the Titan Submersible story from a few months ago, you know of the terrifying consequences of going too deep in a submarine.

There is a little body of water in the city of Santa Rosa. On the surface, it’s just an unassuming pond in the middle of the desert in New Mexico. At the bottom, though, there is a large metal grate over the entrance to a massive underwater cavern. Importantly, this grate wasn’t always there, and I think we all know that a metal grate is only installed for one reason. So, in this video, we’re goin...

In 1874, 6 men set off into Colorado’s San Juan mountains in the middle of winter with the hopes of reaching some newly discovered gold fields on the other side. Two months later, only a single man emerged from the mountains, but instead of being emaciated as early explorers were often later found, the man looked to be weirdly well-fed. This is the story of Alfred Packer, also known as the Colorad...
